six unemployed people for every job opening in america right now. that means no matter how hard we pushed them, there may not be a job for them. businesses need to create those jobs. they did not see many sales, not a great future for the employee, and the employee needs to pay for their own way. you will not hire anyone who is going to cost more than they earn. there is much more that we can do in terms of job training, coaching, getting people off of unemployment benefits. right now people are on unemployment benefits for up to 99 weeks. that is unheard of. until there are actual jobs out there to get, it is hard to see what else we can do. we need to encourage businesses to create these jobs. host: president obama will be speaking in maryland today as he tours a labor-management apprentice facility. he will make remarks on clean energy. for the rest of 2010, give us the scope of the president's efforts in this job creation area? guest: de no politically this is one of the biggest issues they had. maybe terrorism could be bigger. foremost, the job
